Rental cars in Bucaramanga from $48

If your trip to Bucaramanga is all sorted out but your itinerary is a bit on the empty side, we can give you a helping hand.Close to the center, Cacique Shopping Mall is one sight you might like to consider adding to your must-see list. If you still have some room on your travel itinerary, Panachi and Alfonso Lopez Stadium will keep you occupied as well.

If you find yourself with a little spare time and you’re willing to travel 50 miles, check out Valle de San Jose. This popular place offers plenty to keep you entertained. Valle de San Jose Wishing Well, Valle de San Jose Central Park and Valle de San Jose Cathedral alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also probably point you toward San Gil, 40 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be La Libertad Park. (But we’d also recommend San Gil Cathedral and Gallineral Natural Park.)

Bucaramanga is big. You could chill out for a week or more in this place and hardly scratch the surface. To take in as much as possible in this busy metropolis, you’ll need a rental car. Bear in mind that driving around big cities usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and even tighter parking spaces. Don’t stress though, because an economy or a compact car can make this a lot easier to navigate. If you’d like to skip town and check out the impressive rock formations that Bucaramanga is known for, you may prefer a car with more room. A full-size or mid-size SUV is a good choice.

There’s plenty of choice when it comes to renting a car in Bucaramanga. From sporty models with all the mod cons to zippy little compacts that make parking a breeze, you’ll find it all here. Selecting your perfect match depends on how much you’d like to spend and what you intend to do. Some road trips are just begging you to splurge on your dream ride, whereas others don’t need much more than a bargain, no-frills type model.

If you’d like to leave your car in town and venture around the area by foot, we don’t expect you’ll have too many problems bagging a spot. Just make sure you take note of any nearby signage and observe the rules. You don’t want to spoil an enjoyable day out with a fine.

As the population of Bucaramanga is only 571,800, you shouldn’t have too much trouble with traffic. That being said, main roads generally get busy before and after work hours, so you may want to avoid driving then.

In most cases, your rental company will charge the amount fined to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may provide your contact information to the relevant local agency so they can send a fine to you directly.
